Cellulant achieves data sovereignty using Pure Infrastructure ’ s VMware Cloud while ensuring its transactional data is hosted on its VMware Cloud in the country of origin .
No regulator across Africa is the same . To deliver a Pan-African service , companies must meet each country ’ s regulations relating to data residency , compliance , and data sovereignty .
Cellulant , a Pan-African financial technology company that provides locally relevant and alternative payment methods for global , regional , and local merchants , has created a contiguous cloud experience that enables it to meet data and cloud sovereignty requirements across its regions . Working with Pure Infrastructure , a VMware Cloud Provider , Cellulant can now offer its services across borders and deliver a ubiquitous user experience , in addition to hosting specific applications in a public cloud
“ Our vision is to make payments frictionless and seamless , no matter where they are being made . If we can ’ t meet this core fundamental requirement , we don ’ t have a business , nor do the merchants and banks we work with . We are on a journey to solve the fragmented payment ecosystem in Africa , providing solutions that address the challenges that merchants and banks face when it comes to collecting payments . By doing so , we believe that create opportunities that accelerate economic empowerment for all Africans ,” said John Mburu , Head , Platform Engineering , Cellulant .
Zebra launches mobile computer in Africa to support digitalisation of operations
Zebra Technologies Corporation , an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge , has introduced the TC15 mobile computer in Africa to help empower businesses in logistics , retail and field industries with a durable connectivity solution .
The launch of the TC15 addresses the increasing need for a rugged , durable mobile computer for delivery drivers , transport and logistics staff , retail workers and small and medium-size enterprise ( SME ) owners in the region . This solution will help make it easier for workers to do their jobs and help them take more real-time control of their work .
The TC15 is particularly suited to SME companies who might be tempted to purchase consumer-grade devices which require more frequent maintenance and device replacements due to lack of durability – and it shows in the total cost of ownership .
“ Recent technological improvements made in the retail and warehouse industries have outlined the importance of utilising devices to streamline operations so that workers can keep their focus on customer-facing responsibilities ,” said Neil Gouveia , Director , Africa , Zebra Technologies . “ The TC15 is ideal for any IT operations leader who is looking for a mobile computer that is enterprise ready to fulfill this purpose .”
